Ok, we are bad so we'll try to catch up on everything in this one post. Peanut is growing a lot and everything seems to be on track. Lauren feels movement and kicks every day, and can even see her stomach pulsating when Peanut moves. Aaron got to feel a good strong kick the other day so now he knows how it feels. Lauren had to take the glucose test to check for gestational diabetes, which came back abnormal so she had to go for the 3 hour test. This meant fasting from dinner until the test was over and getting blood drawn 4 times over 3 hours. Not to mention sitting at the testing place for 3 hours! But, the results came back fine so we are in the clear on that one, too.

We actually just got back from Maui and had a great time. The weather was beautiful and we had lots of fun. Lauren (or maybe just Peanut) got a bit seasick when we took a snorkel trip to Molokini and then Turtle Town, but Lauren did do the snorkeling at both places though she ended up "sicking up" in the ocean. It was really pretty and we had a good time, just wish it could have lasted longer. We will try to get some pictures up in the next couple of days once we have a chance to go through some of them.

We have also created a registry for baby items - we spent 2 hours registering one night at one store! Lauren's bridesmaids, Kelly, Kristin and Pam have generously offered to throw her a shower so that is coming up as well and should be fun. We are in the 30th week this week so about 10 more to go, we just can't believe it. We have also started clearing our spare bedroom, getting it ready for not only Peanut, but for Gavin who will begin overnight stays with us this weekend. We have been in our place for a little over 2 years already and we are just now finally organizing and making the spare room livable! The "theme" will be hawaiian/surfer, which will work well for the baby and for Gavin, and things are moving along though we do have a bit more to do, and then get the baby furniture. All in all, though, things are moving along!
